The course was provided by Bromley Healthcare staff. It was an excellent training provided by experienced and knowledgeable tutors. I would thoroughly recommend it to carers and to practitioners providing care for older clients and those working in care settings./opinions/239471Diagnosis of Gall Bladder InfectionStory from greenman1 as the patient2015-07-16T15:21:35Z2015-08-02T22:24:45Zgreenman1My wife and myself and two friends were tacking the Warwickshire Ring on our canal boat, when I experienced pain in my chest and abdomen. I was taken into Heartlands Hospital, diagnosed and treated.
We live on the Wirral, so I had no idea of what to expect. However, I cannot speak too highly of the treatment I received, or the cheerful attitude of all the members of staff I had contact with, and I would like to express my thanks to the doctors, nurses and other members of staff.
I was discharged after two days and we were able to continue our canal cruise./opinions/239333Royal Bolton Hospital ACUStory from Damsons as the patient2015-07-15T20:40:36Z2015-08-02T22:24:45ZDamsonsMy GP was concerned that despite treatment the cough caused from a lower lung infection remained. He rang The ACU and spoke to a Doctor who agreed it could possibly be little blood clots. I was to go to the unit for 12 noon. It is a very busy unit the care I received was exceptional. A range of diagnostic tests including bloods and another chest X-ray. An excellent ANP called Debbie took a full case history and gave me a thorough examination. She explained in detail what would happen if they discovered blood clots but also explained that if my bloods showed the infection this might mask it. We then had to wait for all the test results to come through. Staff ensured that all the patients were kept supplied with hot drinks and food. My husband and I finally met with the Consultant who explained from all the tests results there was no rationale for the cough remaining. He was thorough and informative. He felt further investigation was required and has referred me to the Chest Clinic. My visit to ACU was a demonstration of the NHS at its best./opinions/236338First class treatment at Q.E.Q.M hospitalStory from Archibald as the patient2015-06-28T08:26:47Z2015-08-02T22:24:45ZArchibaldIn June 2015 I had two surgical interventions: a gastroscopy and and an angiogram. The first was by Mr Shabbier Ahmed and team; the second by Mr Mark Fenton and team.
On both occasions I received first-class treatment and very kind and caring attention. It would be hard to imagine receiving better treatment anywhere and I am most grateful to the NHS for all that they do for me.
